Critiquing a Recruitment Ad

Who am I? Now this question can have lots of potential answers depending on who could be asking me. My mom might receive a different answer than say a classmate would. However, in the case of a potential employer asking who you are, it is important to have your personal image, or brand, figured out.

For all potential employers I am driven, dedicated, and reliable. I am boring in the sense that I will always be five minutes early and at my work station ready to go. Whenever I am given a task or a deadline I can be trusted to make everything happen. As far as socially, I love connecting with people around the office or job site. I am your average reliable employee with a dash of take charge. I have learned to love taking charge of things. Organizing, meeting deadlines, and abiding by regulations is dreaded by most, but adored by me. My attention to detail thrives in that environment. My brand that I am trying to sell potential employers is that of reliability and consistency. I am a social, driven worker who loves to organize. I believe that I can be beneficial to any work environment.
